Military school may be front for spying: lawmakers

DPP caucus whip Gao Jyh-peng (高志鵬) said the ministry should offer a more substantial plan — instead of just stating that defectors remain on the wanted list —to stop the invasion of Taiwan by China and its insidious attempts to glean intelligence from Taiwan’s military.

The Military High Court also said that following the recent amendments to the Code of Court Martial Procedure (軍事審判法), Huang’s defection case will also be turned over to civilian courts on Jan. 13 next year.

The code was amended following the death of army corporal Hung Chung-chiu (洪仲丘) by heat exhaustion, allegedly through intensive training administered with malignant intent, three days prior to finishing his compulsory service.
